subdivision of the Commonwealth, acting by and through its Council
or, in appropriate cases, acting by and through its authorized representatives.

Any property within this Borough upon which there is erected
a structure intended for continuous or periodic habitation, occupancy
or use by human beings or animals and from which structure sanitary
sewage and/or industrial wastes shall be or may be discharged.

Any improved property located in this Borough and used or
intended for use, wholly or in part, for the manufacturing, processing,
cleaning, laundering or assembling of any product, commodity or article,
or any other improved property located in this Borough, from which
wastes, in addition to or other than sanitary sewage, shall be discharged.

That part of the WBRA sewer system extending from a sewer
to the curbline or, if there shall be no curbline, to the property
line or, if no such lateral shall be provided, then "lateral" shall
mean that portion of, or place in, a sewer that is provided for connection
of any building sewer.

West Branch Regional Authority, a municipality authority
existing and governed pursuant to provisions of the Municipality Authorities
Act (53 Pa.C.S.A. Ch. 56), as amended and supplemented, of the commonwealth.

All facilities, as of any particular time, for collecting,
transmitting, treating or disposing of sanitary sewage and/or industrial
wastes, situate in or about this Borough, and owned by WBRA or its
successor.

The owner of any improved property benefited, improved or accommodated
by a sewer shall connect such improved property with such sewer, in
such manner as WBRA may require, within 45 days (or such other longer
period of time as may be prescribed by WBRA in its discretion) after
notice to such owner from this Borough, or from WBRA on its behalf,
to make such connection, for the purpose of discharging all sanitary
sewage and industrial wastes from such improved property; subject,
however, to such limitations and restrictions as shall be established
herein or otherwise shall be established by WBRA, from time to time.

All sanitary sewage and industrial wastes from any improved property, after connection of such improved property with a sewer, shall be required under Subsection A, shall be conducted into such sewer; subject, however, to such limitations and restrictions as shall be established herein or otherwise shall be established by WBRA, from time to time.

No person shall place, shall deposit or shall permit to be placed or to be deposited upon public or private property within this Borough any sanitary sewage or industrial wastes in violation of Subsection A. No person shall discharge or shall permit to be discharged to any natural outlet within this Borough any sanitary sewage or industrial wastes in violation of Subsection A, except where suitable treatment has been provided that is satisfactory to WBRA.

No privy vault, cesspool, sinkhole, septic tank or similar receptacle shall be used or shall be maintained at any time upon any improved property that has been connected to a sewer or that shall be required under Subsection A to be connected to a sewer. Every such privy vault, cesspool, sinkhole, septic tank or similar receptacle in existence shall be abandoned and, at the discretion of WBRA, shall be cleansed and shall be filled, at the expense of the owner of such improved property, unless otherwise provided for by WBRA, under the direction and supervision of WBRA; and any such privy vault, cesspool, sinkhole, septic tank or similar receptacle not so abandoned and, if required by WBRA, not cleansed and filled shall constitute a nuisance, and such nuisance may be abated, as provided by law, at the expense of the owner of such improved property.

The notice by WBRA on behalf of this Borough, to make a connection to a sewer, referred to in Subsection A, shall include a reference to this chapter, including any amendments or supplements at the time in effect, in a written or printed document requiring the connection in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and specifying that such connection shall be made within 45 days (or such other longer period of time as may be prescribed by WBRA in its discretion) from the date such notice is given or served. Such notice may be given or served at any time after a sewer is in place that can receive and can convey sanitary sewage and industrial wastes for treatment and disposal from the particular improved property. Such notice shall be given or served to the owner by personal service or registered (certified) mail, in accordance with 8 Pa.C.S.A. § 2051.

No person shall uncover, shall connect with, shall make any opening
into or shall use, shall alter or shall disturb, in any manner, any
sewer or any part of the WBRA sewer system without first obtaining
a permit, in writing, from WBRA.

Such person shall have given such designated representative of WBRA
at least 48 hours' notice of the time when such connection will
be made so that WBRA may supervise and inspect or may cause to be
supervised and inspected the work of connection and necessary testing;
and

If applicable, such person shall have furnished satisfactory evidence
to such designated representative of WBRA that any tapping fee or
other charge imposed by WBRA against the owner of each improved property
who connects such improved property to a sewer has been paid.

Except as otherwise provided in this Subsection D, each improved property shall be connected separately and independently with a sewer through a building sewer. Grouping of more than one improved property, or more than one structure discharging sewage on a single improved property, on one building sewer shall not be permitted, except under special circumstances and for good sanitary reasons or other good cause shown, but then only after special permission of WBRA, in writing, shall have been secured and only subject to such rules, regulations and conditions as may be prescribed by WBRA.

All costs and expenses of construction of a building sewer and all
costs and expenses of connection of a building sewer to a sewer shall
be borne by the owner of the improved property to be connected; and
such owner shall indemnify and shall save harmless this Borough and
WBRA from all loss or damage that may be occasioned, directly or indirectly,
as a result of construction of a building sewer or of connection of
a building sewer to a sewer.

A building sewer shall be connected to a sewer at the place designated
by WBRA and where, if applicable, the lateral is provided. The invert
of a building sewer at the point of connection shall be at the same
or a higher elevation than the invert of the sewer. A smooth, neat
joint shall be made and the connection of a building sewer to the
lateral shall be made secure and watertight.

If the owner of any improved property benefited, improved or accommodated by a sewer requiring the connection of such improved property with a sewer, in accordance with § 217-2A, after 45 days' notice (or such other longer period of time prescribed by WBRA), shall fail to connect such improved property and use the WBRA sewer system, as required, this Borough, or WBRA on its behalf, may make such connection and may collect from such owner the costs and expenses thereof in the manner permitted by law.

Where an improved property, at the time connection to a sewer is
required, shall be served by its own sewage disposal system or sewage
disposal device, the existing house sewer line shall be broken on
the structure side of such sewage disposal system or sewage disposal
device and attachment shall be made, with proper fittings, to continue
such house sewer line as a building sewer.

No building sewer shall be covered until it has been inspected and
approved by WBRA. If any part of a building sewer is covered before
so being inspected and approved, it shall be uncovered for inspection
at the cost and expense of the owner of the improved property to be
connected to a sewer.

Every excavation for a building sewer shall be guarded adequately
with barricades and lights to protect all persons from damage and
injury. Any street, sidewalk and other property disturbed in the course
of installation of a building sewer shall be restored, at the cost
and expense of the owner of the improved property being connected,
in a manner satisfactory to WBRA and this Borough.

If any person shall fail or shall refuse, upon receipt of a written
notice of WBRA, to remedy any unsatisfactory condition with respect
to a building sewer within 45 days (or other period of time prescribed
by WBRA) of receipt of such notice, WBRA may refuse to permit such
person to discharge sanitary sewage and industrial wastes into the
WBRA sewer system until such unsatisfactory condition shall have been
remedied to the satisfaction of WBRA.

This Borough reserves the right to adopt, from time to time, additional
rules and regulations as it shall deem necessary and proper relating
to connections with a sewer and with the WBRA sewer system, which
additional rules and regulations, to the extent appropriate, shall
be and shall be construed as part of this chapter.

Any person who shall violate this chapter shall be subject, upon
being found liable therefor in an appropriate legal enforcement proceeding
commenced by this Borough, or WBRA on its behalf, to a penalty of
not more than $1,000, together with all court and related costs, and
reasonable attorney fees, incurred by this Borough and WBRA. Each
day that a violation shall continue shall be deemed and shall be taken
to be a separate offense and the violating party shall be liable as
such.
